The Gunbuster rips through the mobile suits like so much wet toilet paper. Suddenly, something happens!

Hey, what's that rumbling?

Loudspeakers across the base blare out: "Attention Aeon Genesis Guardian Force. We are deeply sorry that you have felt the quality of our Superweapon of the Month offerings has been substandard, and would like to make every attempt to keep you as a customer. While your last two Destroys were riddled with defects, we're satisfied that these new ones are fully-functional and should provide you with the quality you expect from the Titans."

Jaybee grins as he readies the Graviton Launcher.I thought this might happen.

Several mounds begin forming around the base, then burst open as the Destroys blast open the ceiling above them to secure an exit. As the mechs begin to climbout, Jaybee's grin falls

Wait... how many holes is that?

Shara: I'm counting 6... no, ten.... SEVENTEEN Destroy Gundams!

WHAT?!?!?!

Twelve of the Destroys lock all weapons on the Gunbuster, aiming up at it's knees. The remaining 5 fan out and begin attacking the rest of the force.

Well, you guys wanted a final test... show us what you can do!

Shara, gimme a hand with this one!

The VF-25 switches to battroid and drops to ground near a crater, hiding behind the rubble.

Right under his nose, so to speak.

[/i]A barrage of smaller weapons pelts the rubble, shattering it as the VF-25 dives to the side.[/i]

Shara: "Jay, that's not safe! Get away from there!"

No! It's weakest down here! Graviton launcher, FIRE!

The VF-25 levels it's left arm at the Destroy's hip assembly, and a surge of gravitons rips out of the cannon as Shara rains fire from above. Then another surge. And a third. The phase shift armor begins flickering,.

Geez...The VF-25 draws it's knife and lunges upward, driving it through the unstable armor and into the hip joint, then slashes it across the waist, totally disabling the Destroy's legs, and boosting clear as it topples over.

"JAY! JAY! ARE YOU OKAY?"

I'm fine, Shara. Thanks for the concern.

"What the hell were you doing under there?! Are you an IDIOT!"

I was cutting it's legs off. And yes, I am.

They weren't joking about these being tougher than the last pair.Took half my graviton pulses just to drop one.

Of course, we've got some bigger guns than that now.Andrew, Ianator! Show them the power of the AGGF's burning heart! ...And, you know, it's new grossly-overpowered prototype.

Andrew, I think total humiliation is in order. Just be careful... Jay's Graviton Launcher should've gone right through that PS Armor, but that obviously wasn't the case. We should make sure they don't have anything else up their sleeves.
